  1. I need my two storm troopers. I am going with the Iron Major and Hans Von Hammer CES
  2. Which one? There's been like thirty of them and 2 tv shows CES
  3. I need an option and two sidekicks. I would like to option Mace Windu CES
  4. I would like to option Rocket Raccoon since the Skylark needs a pilot CES
  5. You can if you have three things, Dean. You have to have thousands of hours on the range, like shooting every day for eight + hours straight, reflexes like a cat, and the luck of the leprechauns that the guy isn't moving fast. I say this because it's been done, but the officer reported he was shooting center mass and hadn't realized the guy had moved his hand CES
  6. I think both PG and I have said something like this. When ViCap became a thing, police departments were given a checklist to see if the mo of offenders could be matched nationwide. I don't see why the same type paperwork could not be placed for gun crimes. CES
  7. Why not try to reduce it to zero? There are more suicides with guns than homicides including the mass shootings we're talking about in America. Why not try to reduce all of that to zero? CES
  8. Thinking about this made me think of two things I heard but don't know if they are true. 500-to 1k people jump off the golden gate bridge a year. And Japan had such a high rate of suicide the government tried to dissuade it by blocking off common death areas. CES
  9. I'm just throwing it out there Hugh. I know that the majority of Canadians live in the southern parts of the country, but I don't know how that would translate into how much you hate each other. Don't you have an agency that records this like the CDC? CES
  10. I think you are right on this, but the thought I was going with is I got a gun, or I got a bunch of pills. Which is going to do the job faster? CES
  11. maybe population density is a key factor, Hugh. CES
  12. I totally agree with this. My understanding and I could be wrong was that the CDC is not allowed to look into gun deaths as a project like they have with other things. They are only allowed to look at DCs and the uniform reporting for that is bad. If agencies had to fill out replies like a ViCAP, the only thing against is political budget concerns CES
  13. Nostalgia, it's the best drug because it's free. CES
  14. I agree with Pattern Ghost. Taking away the suicides (depression followed by a split second decision), accidents (kid shoots their parent, sibling, or friend by mistake) police involved shootings (him or me), self defense (again him or me), murders are more likely to be about money or revenge. These mass shootings are an outlier and seemed to be spurred on by envy more than anything else. Too bad the CDC can't study root causes so something can be done. CES
  15. A quick google search (I mean like five seconds so take it with a grain of salt) gives me two top stories one from 2013 where a couple are stoned to death because the village didn't like the girl going out with the guy, the other from 2018 where India is described as the worst place for women along with Afghanistan and Syria. America is in the top ten. The stoning Guardian Poll of worst places for women CES
  16. Britain didn't encourage the husband to stone his wife for her imperfections which India (or parts of India depending on how you look at it) was doing as recently as ten years ago I think. CES
  17. Maybe, but it will never happen in America. We have too many people who would rather shoot themselves than give up their firearms. And robbing a place is easier with a gun than a knife. CES
  18. India also has a culture of violence against women so the murder rate is no surprise. CES
  19. 2 things 1)Far be it from me to lecture anyone, but language. 2) The cruelty is the point. Why do you think so many top officials are gone, and Trump can't confirm anyone for their positions? You are either loyal, or you're not. and Trump poisons everything he touches. CES
  20. Who is also the son of immigrants. It's never let me help you through the process because my family's been there. It's always my family had to put up with BS, so I'm handing it down like Ron Weasley's wand CES
  21. A gun is a tool. It's the means like old man said. The problem is the motive. Until motives can be verified before people do things, it doesn't matter what the tool is. A semifamous case here in Clemmons is a woman got fed up with her husband telling her to stop spending money on horses. Something I could relate to at the time. She went after him with a harpoon/spear he had got somewhere and had laying around. There's been two or three cases where a man shot his wife and then himself I'm going to say in the last five-ten years maybe and we're a one horse town so it's not like there's a murder every week. If a person doesn't have a gun, they will use something else. BTM used cookies. A gun just makes things easier. Until someone figures out why people act like they do, and how to solve that so they can deal with modern life, murder and suicide is always going to look better than trying to walk it off and trying to start over.

  22. Oh wait i found everytown which has some stuff. They list their sources Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) Fatal Injury Reports. A yearly average was developed using five years of most recent available data: 2013 to 2017. While it is broadly considered to be the most comprehensive firearm fatal injury source, two of the intent categories—Shootings by law enforcement and Unintentional Deaths—are estimated to be greatly underreported. This underreporting is largely due to missing information on death certificates, which may result in misclassification of intent. Multiple media sources and nonprofit groups have tracked shootings by law enforcement but no reliable public database captures unintentional shootings. Intent category averages may not total to yearly average due to rounding. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) Nonfatal Injury Reports. The CDC derives national estimates of nonfatal firearm injuries treated in hospitals from a survey of hospitals known as the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). According to the CDC, some of these estimates may be unstable. The CDC’s nonfatal injury data has come under scrutiny largely because of increasing error margins in recent years.

  23. What would you consider neutral? I saw about twenty different things on Google plus an Interactive map from 538. CES
  24. Who knew if you were poor, you were more likely to get shot while being robbed or shoot yourself, or if you were married, you are more likely to get shot by your significant other especially if you are the woman in the relationship, or suicide by gun is more likely to succeed than any other way? I didn't.
